SOPHIA WEBSTER COLLABORATES WITH PATRICK COX ON A NEW COLLECTION OF LOAFERS

"This Garage Girl’s dreams came true when I teamed up with my absolute shoe hero Patrick Cox to create a loafer for today’s generation," muses Sophia Webster of her new collaboration. Of course, so did ours. From heeled croc loafers to iterations covered in daisies or rainbow-coloured crystals, these shoes are made for the danceloor or designed to stand out on the murky floor of a late-night gig.

Channeling the hazy days of her '90s adolescence, Sophia enlisted her shoe-time hero Patrick Coz to help her create a loafer that doubles-up as a love letter to the noughties UK garage scene. Icons and voices of the era including Dj Spoony, Kele le Roc and more join her in revisting this epoch in a documentary series that takes a look at the resurgence of the genre in both fashion and music.

The first thing we'll do post-quarantine? Grab a pair of Sophia Webster x Patrick Cox loafers and find us a garage rave to dance at till dawn. See you there?

Reflecting the exciting and engaging spirit of today's Balmain at the helm of Olivier Rousteing, the luxury fashion house has designed the Bbuzz bag in an array of new colours. A Balmain staple, the Bbuzz bag evokes both the future and heritage of the iconic brand.

The sought-after runway accessory was the product of the house's famed atelier working alongside master Italian leather craftsmen. Matching the colour scheme to Rousteing's latest collection, the bag riffs of some of the designer's familiar signatures: thick fringes, quilted leathers and bold animal prints. Although COVID-19 means you can't show it off to your friends just yet, it's enough just to stare at. Trust me.
